Infrared to violet up-conversion in YLiF4 : Nd3

We investigate ultraviolet and visible up-conversion in YLiF4 : Nd3+ (1%). The energy of the ultraviolet emission is more than twice the energy of the infrared pump light. The up-conversion is determined to be dominated by an energy transfer process. Our experimental results are compared with a rate...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	We investigate ultraviolet and visible up-conversion in YLiF4 : Nd3+ (1%). The energy of the ultraviolet emission is more than twice the energy of the infrared pump light. The up-conversion is determined to be dominated by an energy transfer process. Our experimental results are compared with a rate equation analysis.
